Chinese Language Edition

讓我們一起「宅」家裡～「藝」起玩創意！

邀請您與溫哥華美術館公共教育主任林嘉敏（Melissa Karmen Lee）和溫哥華美術館亞洲藝術部助理陳勵瑩 (Lynn Chen) 將以粵語及中文在Zoom的平台上，和小朋友們分享藝術家的創作故事。「藝」起玩 – 華語版線上活動，通過藝術說故事的力量，與家人一起嘗試的新活動吧！在本次活動中，Melissa以粵語一同與Lynn以中文將談討加拿大原住民當代藝術家蘇珊·波因特(Susan Point)的故事。

波因特的作品表達了她從家人和研究祖先文物中學到的海岸薩利希民族(Coast Salish)視覺語言。正如她曾說：“我試圖展示萬物之間的聯繫，因為它們之間都是相通的，是恆久的精神……這是生命的循環……” 我們將一起討論波因特在她的版畫，雕刻和公共雕塑中使用的特定於海岸薩利希民族設計的元素和形狀。然後，根據我們的想像力，記憶和文化，使用形狀和元素製作表達相互聯繫主題的版畫。

歡迎參與其中！註冊時或使用Zoom平台上的問答功能，來提交的問題。還可以在Zoom平台聊天功能中與參加者進行交流。

關於藝術家

瑪斯昆族（Musqueam）藝術家蘇珊·Ａ·波因特（Susan A. Point）從母親那裡繼承了祖先的知識和民族的傳統。 波因特是Edna Grant和Anthony Point的女兒，以及Dominic Point和Mike Kew的侄女，小時候家人把瑪斯昆族傳統故事傳給了她。 波因特是復興海岸薩利希原住民族(Coast Salish)藝術的關鍵人物，從其祖先的設計中汲取靈感並探索使用非傳統材料來證明Salish文化在當代世界中強大的生命力。 波因特的作品在北美，歐洲和亞洲廣泛展出，也為卑詩省和華盛頓州的特定地點創作了40多件公共藝術品，擅長使用非傳統的材料和技術及創建獨立的雕塑和針對特定地點所設計的作品。

加拿大勳章（Order of Canada）的獲獎者，波因特因對加拿大的傑出貢獻而獲得女王伊麗莎白二世鑽石禧年勳章的認可。她還獲得了Indspire成就獎、 YWCA 傑出女性獎、BC創意成就獎和2018年Audain視覺藝術終身成就獎。她是加拿大皇家藝術學院的成員。 2017年，溫哥華美術館的展覽《蘇珊·波因特：紡輪》（Susan Point：Spindle Whorl）探討了她豐富的創作生涯。隨後，此專展還巡展至素里美術館和基洛納美術館。

溫哥華美術館亞洲藝術館

溫哥華已成為北美通往亞洲的最大通道之一，是北美大陸其中一個亞洲人口增長最快速的地區。這座城市位於北美西岸和環太平洋地區的東緣，有著眾多亞裔在此匯聚和交流文化。這些社區的存在以多種深刻的方式影響著溫哥華美術館，從通過合作方式豐富我們的展覽和活動項目，並塑造我們對未來的規劃，對溫哥華的多元性以及它與世界各地及亞洲地區文化關聯的探索。為了讓我們在所有計劃中更投入亞洲藝術，本館於2014年10月創建了亞洲館 Institute of Asian Art（IAA)目標是提高對亞洲藝術的意識，加強溫哥華與其他亞洲社區交流聯系。

Let’s make Art At Home!

Experience the power of storytelling through art, and discover a new activity that you can try with your family at home!

In this session of Art At Home Live, Melissa Karmen Lee, Director of Education and Public Programs, and Lynn Chen, Program Assistant for the Institute of Asian Art, will share the incredible story of the life of contemporary artist Susan Point in Mandarin and Cantonese.

Together, in both Cantonese and Mandarin, we will discuss the elements and shapes specific to Coast Salish design that Point uses in her prints, carvings and public sculptures. We will then learn how to make our own prints that express interconnection using shapes and elements from our imaginations, memories and cultures.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Susan A. Point, of the Musqueam First Nation, inherited ancestral learnings and the traditions of her people from her mother. Point is the Daughter of Edna Grant and Anthony Point, and the niece of Dominic Point and Mike Kew, who passed the traditional stories of the Musqueam on to her when she was a child.

Point has been a key figure in re-establishing the vitality of Salish art, drawing inspiration from the designs of her ancestors and exploring the use of non-traditional materials to forcefully assert the vitality of Salish culture in the contemporary world.

Point’s work has been widely exhibited in North America, Europe and Asia, and she has produced more than forty public artworks for specific locations in BC and Washington. Point excels using non-traditional materials and techniques, creating stand-alone sculptures and site-specific works.

An Officer of the Order of Canada, Point has been recognized with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for her contributions to Canada. She has also been acknowledged with an Indspire Achievement Award, a YWCA Woman of Distinction Award, a B.C. Creative Achievement Award and the 2018 Audain Prize for Lifetime Achievement in the Visual Arts, among other honours. She is a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. In 2017, the exhibition Susan Point: Spindle Whorl at the Vancouver Art Gallery surveyed her entire career. It has since toured to Surrey Art Gallery and Kelowna Art Gallery.

ABOUT THE INSTITUTE OF ASIAN ART

Vancouver is one of North America’s most important gateways to Asia, and has one of the fastest growing Asian populations around the world. Recognizing the contributions of these residents and wishing to strengthen our commitment to Asian art in all our programming, the Vancouver Art Gallery launched the Institute of Asian Art (IAA) in October 2014. This initiative serves as a focal point in the region for exhibitions and public programs relating to both historical and contemporary Asian art. Our vision is to establish a reciprocal relationship with our audience and communities, and to facilitate a deeper understanding between cultures.
